About this book
In a great green room, tucked away in bed, is a little bunny. "Goodnight room, goodnight moon." And to all the familiar things in the softly lit room--to the picture of the three little bears sitting in chairs, to the clocks and his socks, to the mittens and the kittens, to everything one by one--he says goodnight.
In this classic of modern children's literature, beloved by generations of readers and listeners, the quiet poetry of the words and the gentle, lulling illustrations combine to make a perfect book for the end of the day.
Generations of children have begged to hear this story before bed. Now children can add a new element to their bedtime routine by flipping the tape and listening to the original Goodnight Moon lullaby on the reverse side. In a new, beautifully designed reusable pouch, this wonderful recording of the classic bedtime story and the special bonus of the soothing, original lullaby composed especially for this recording is just right for sleepyheads.
